'If David Sedaris had got married and had kids, he would have been Reservoir Dad. Fall-on-the-floor funny, sharp, witty and just a little bit sexy.' Kerri Sackville, Best Australian Blog 2013 judge A sharply funny, fresh and irreverent chronicler of real life in today's parenting trenches, Reservoir Dad is a stay-at-home dad whose award-winning blog has already won hearts and minds all over Ausrtralia and beyond for telling it like it is and making us laugh out loud - and sometimes cry, but in a good way.

Whether he's making us choke with laughter, 'scrisper' (a scream, tempered by a whisper - vital to surviving the unexpected joys of being in charge of four little boys under seven on a plane, train,

About the author

When Clint Greagen became a stay-at-home dad he turned to blogging to connect with the world - and stay sane. His Reservoir Dad blog won Best Australian Blog 2013 in the Personal and Parenting category. Clint lives in Reservoir with wife Tania, and sons Archie, 9, Lewis, 7, Tyson, 4, and Maki, 2.

Clint quit his job to become a stay at home dad when oldest son Archie was two and recalls that some of his co-workers were bemused and there was even the odd occasion when his manliness was questioned. As usual, he sought refuge in writing. He wrote a crime novel or three before the demands of his new day job led him to turn away from longer writing projects in favour of blogging to connect with the world - and other stay-at-home parents - and to stay sane. Clint's blog, Reservoir Dad, won the Best Australian Blog 2013 in the Personal and Parenting category.

I laughed til I cried A wonderful read. It's warm, funny, and at times gross in a kid - relatable way. Highly recommend to parents and parents to be alike.

A great read I'm not a dad and it's too late now, but I thoroughly enjoyed this book. He's an easy and excellent writer with a clever turn of phrase and some delightful word images. His underlying life wisdom shines through and his kids are lucky to have such a role model. I look forward to what might come in the future and would love to see it broaden beyond his experience as a stay at home dad.
